Witch Hazel

Probably the best single skin treatment I've used. Can't believe I've just heard of this stuff.

I've had acne since I was in fourth grade; now I'm nearing the end of my senior year and am still struggling with my acne. I ran across Witch Hazel in the store, and I already knew the herb itself has a history of being used to heal, so I decided to take a chance and buy it. When everything else has failed, you just kinda try anything and everything that seems even moderately promising. I started using it about a week ago, and already I can see the results. I use it when I first wake up and am getting ready for school, and then I use it right before I go to bed. It's real gentle, doesn't burn or irritate. I have picky skin. Just about any other face cleaner or soap I've used either didn't work, caused more break outs, or I was allergic to (one time I even got a chemical burn from a face cleaner). As I said before, in any case, I've only been using it for a week, and my face has cleared up considerably. My skin feels softer and isn't as oily, I haven't had to apply any sort of lotion because my skin is exceedingly dry. I'm really hoping that this continues to work. I'd definitely recommend it.

I had boughten a cheap bottle of witch hazel for the dollar store down the street last year, and used it for a few days. It worked like crap. I stopped using it as a toner, then used it as a spot treatment, still didn't do anything. So, then I washed my face with it. That helped with redness, I guess. I didn't finish that bottle, by the way. Dumped it out. I had gotten sunburns and bug bites, and my mom suggested witch hazel. I said okay, and picked it up at Wal-Mart for about $1.56. I put it in my moisturizer, my face washes (I have a morning and night one), and I've been using this witch hazel as a toner for the sunburns, bug bites and my acne. It's done wonders. The bites aren't itchy, they're gone. Sunburns are basically gone, and they didn't even peel. And my acne's going down like crazy. This is magical. I highly recommend this. Do watch for how much witch hazel is it it. Read the "Drug Facts" section on the back of the bottle. If it says there's 86% of witch hazel or higher, you're good to go! (:

I never really used toner because I thought it was unnecessary, but after reading somewhere that witch hazel helped with redness and swelling, I gave this a try. It removes any excess make up or oil that my super mild cleanser doesn't take off. I only use it after I've worn make up or had a long day without washing my face. It seems to make my skin softer, and my face has gotten much better as far as breakouts go (I also switched to the cerave lotion and cleanser at the same time, though, so its hard to know what contributed the most). my face is also much less red. either way... It works for my sensitive, red skin and didn't cause a break out so... I recommend it. I give it five little pimple men.

I'm 54 yrs old and have battled acne since age 14. At my age I'm now also getting blotchy skin and age spots. After reading these reviews I decided to give witch hazel a try. I am absolutely amazed at how much better my skin looks after only one week!! My acne has calmed down tremendously and my skin tone is much, much better. The blotchiness and spots are at least 50% better! However, I do apply a lot of it. 3 times in the morning at 10 minute intervals after washing with an acne soap and the same before bedtime. I use cotton balls to apply. The brand I use is T.N. Dickinson's from walmart. So thrilled with my results!!!!!

I've been using this for three days and my skin has improved so much! More than it has from weeks of using my prescription acne medicine. I got this horrible blemish on my face, one of the worst of my life, and it was a bright red and a bleeding mess. Two days after putting witch hazel on it in the morning and at night, it's almost completely healed up. All of my acne marks have faded considerably, and it dried up my acne. It hasn't caused my skin any flaking and has just kept the oil away. My skin feels super clean and disinfected after using it. It's amazing!

I really like it ! I use it everyday in the morning & then use aloe vera & it's really improving my skin :) --if any1 cares at night I use Epiduo gel. Hopefully this will HELP me. lol <3

I've used this for two days along with Noxzema face wash and calamine lotion. So far it's helped a bit and smoothed my skin and made it real soft.

I use this daily am and pm. I don't dilute it or anything in just dab some on a cotton balls and use it as an astringent it dries up active acne which I love! Makes my skin feel nice and doesn't dry me out!

I've been using this for almost a week and I can already say I love it. It does not really help with removing or reducing acne, but it's an amazing skin toner/softener/calmer. My skin feels like a baby's, and looks calmer than is almost possible when you have acne. Now when I apply make-up my face looks and feels absolutely lovely. This is a great and natural way to improve skin tone and balance. I would highly recommend it to anyone, with or without acne. I know several reviews state they had problems with the smell, but I personally haven't had any. It's wonderful!
